Learning Through Life’s Trails
By Larry L. Richman
“You can choose to see a trial as a roadblock or an expressway. If you see it as a roadblock, it will obstruct your way. However, if you see it as an expressway, you can use it to learn and grow.”
Learning Through Life’s Trials reviews the nature, origins, and purposes of adversity and includes suggestions on how to patiently trust in God and His eternal plan and how to use these trials to learn and grow stronger.
“The gospel of Jesus Christ is the plan whereby we can become what God wants us to become. In fact, we become great people because of our trials, not in spite of them.”
